Smart Maksutov telescope with automatic object tracking<\/strong>
The Sky-Watcher SkyMax 127 AZ-Go2 GoTo Telescope is the perfect choice if you want to have the Moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects automatically searched by your telescope. This compact Maksutov-Cassegrain combines razor-sharp optics with a fully automatic GoTo mount that you easily control via the SynScan app<\/strong> on your smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a 127 mm opening<\/strong> and 1500 mm focal length (f\/12)<\/strong> this telescope delivers high-contrast, sharp images of the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. Thanks to the closed optical system, the telescope remains dust-free and stable in image quality even with temperature changes. In addition, the tube is only 28 cm long<\/strong>, making it effortless to take it with you to dark observing locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can set the app by language - so German is not the main language.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Automatic control via app<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The AZ-Go2 mount<\/strong> features integrated WiFi<\/strong> and collaborates with the free SynScan app<\/strong> (iOS and Android). You simply choose an object from the database of more than 10,000 celestial bodies<\/strong>, after which the telescope automatically aims itself \u00e1nd follows the object during your observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app is multilingual configurable (including Dutch and English) - so German is not the default language. Thanks to the alt-azimuth setup, you don't have to align the telescope to the pole star; it's ready to use in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can see with it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The SkyMax 127 AZ-Go2 introduces you to numerous objects in the solar system and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    With an optional T2 adapter ring<\/strong> you can even plug in your DSLR camera and start simple planetary photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
